Eye of the Storm

Story 6

Hey everyone, so Brent decided to grow his hair back out so thats what I figured I may make this next story about. :)

Brent's Point Of View

I enter the studio to meet Eric to work on making new songs. It looked like Eric had been there for a long while, his hair was all frazzled.
  "Nice hair man." I say to him "It's getting long."
   "Yeah you too." He strikes back.
I take off my baseball cap I had been wearing, and ruffle back my hair.
   "I'm gonna try growing it out again."
   "First your sick of the long hair, now your sick of the short hair." Eric winks at me.
   "I'm not sure how long it will last"
   "Tell you what, how about both of us grow our hair out without cutting it until we finish this record and we can then cut it all off, because at this point I don't even care to fix it anymore."
   "Me neither. So, okay Deal." We shake hands

6 months later:

   We see Zach walk into the studio.
   "Hey, what's up cavemen" he jokes.
Eric and I look at Zach, but hair falls in my face. My hair was already at my shoulders and Eric's was about as long as it was during the Sound of Madness record and our beards might have been a little overkill but we have been working too hard on this record to do anything about it.
  "Gheesh, seriously you both need a haircut, just look in the mirror."
   Eric and I look at each other and begin working again.
   "Can't. busy working." I say trying to focus.

Two Weeks Later:

   "I think we're done." Eric announces.
   "Yeah I think so." I say after I finish recording our last song.
   "Good work Mr. Caveman" Eric jokes.
   "You as well."
   "You both are going crazy" Barry pipes in.
   "I've learned that it's best just not to say anything and just go with it." Zach recommends. Soon Barry and Zach head out and Eric and I are left in the studio after everyone else leaves.
   "Hey man what do you say we get a bite and maybe cut this hair." Eric proposes.
   "That's probably a good idea." Eric and I exit the studio and walk over to a near by sandwich shop. We order  and take a seat at a nearby table.
   "I'm pretty sure there's a barber shop close by. What do ya say?"
   "Cool with me."

   After we finish our lunch we walk over to the nearby barber shop. We walk in and they prepare two chairs for us. We wait for a little while and soon Eric is called up. He walks over and sits in a chair as a lady wraps a cape around him. I see as he talks to the lady and soon she begins to cut  off inches of his hair and shaves it round the sides and back. I am then called up and I'm put in the chair next to him. I ask for a similar cut as Eric but more around the sides and back. Eric finishes up and waits for me. I finish soon after, I thank them and leave with Eric. I rub the back of my neck to find the absence of hair.
   "Well now Zach won't call us cavemen anymore." I mention.
   "True." He agrees
   "We should go by his house and bug him." I suggest.
   "Sure, I enjoy messing with Zach."
We hop in our cars and drive over to Zach's house. We ring the door and Zach's wife Bethany answers.
   "Hey is Zach here?" I ask.
   "Yeah Brent he's out back grilling for dinner, he may need help guys come on in." She welcomes us in. We walk out back and see Zach at the grill.
   "The cavemen have arrived." We see Zach begin to laugh before he turns around. When he does, his smile turns to confusion.
   "Well crap I can't harrass you two anymore." He says. "Hey do you guys want to stay for dinner, we have extra hot dogs and hamburgers?"
    "We don't want to disrupt your family dinner."
    "No problem, you two are welcome to stay for dinner." Bethany says as she walks outside.
   "As long as you guys are cool with it." Eric says
   "Don't worry we would love for you to stay."
   "Thanks" Eric and I say in unison.
  
   Zach finishes making dinner and we all sit at the table on the patio. Zach's son Oliver is put in his highchair between Zach and Bethany.
   "How's Oliver?" I ask.
   "He's starting to talk but only a few words."
   "Cool." I say and pat Oliver head.
   "So Zach was telling me that you two looked like cavemen, a few weeks ago. You don't look like cavemen to me."
   "That's because they got a haircut before they came over. Before, their hair was really long though."
    "We were a little to caught up in working to shave or get a haircut so we agreed to do it when we finished"
  "Okay then."
  "Yeah I think you both look sexy." Zach winks.
